Re: how to disable gdm lock screen

the original poster already said that "gdm has locked the screen over 
xscreensaver which had already locked it", so i assume they checked and 
it is indeed gdm doing the locking.
while i'm generally willing to help (though not specifically, since I 
know nothing about gdm), ---
i very much agree with the last poster that this is hardly a topic for 
the _openbox_ mailinglist.

cheers,
